Caught Up in Myself
I can´t believe that I have already been in Brasil for three weeks. I think the days are going by faster and faster! I have been picking up the language so fast! I still have a hard time understanding somethings but it will come in time. I love the food and I am having a great time here. I am learning so much! I am also remembering things I have learned in the past. I have realized that as the past few weeks have gone on I have been so caught up in myself. So many things have been I,I,I or me,me,me. For example, "I am new or I am still learning the language." I have lost sight of why I am really here. I am not here so I can learn a language. I am here to serve my master the Lord. I had forgotten the true importance of selflessness but I have once again remembered. I know that if I put the people and the work of the Lord first I will learn faster than I could ever imagine. It doesn´t matter if I say something incorrect or sound wierd. The people may not understand me but the will understand my spirit if it is in line with the Spirit of God. That is what matters most because the Spirit will teach and testify more than correct grammer and pronounciation ever will. The Spirit of God is like a fire burning!
